…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are set to release their new album ‘IX’ in Europe on the 20th October and the US on 11th November and following last week’s debut of the track ‘The Ghost Within’, the band can now reveal another side to the album with ‘A Million Random Digits’. Head over here to check it out:

The band had this to say about the track:

“A Million Random Digits – the title stolen from a book I found on one of those shelves in a guest house where backpackers are supposed to leave a book when they take one.  Fortunately I’m not a backpacker so I’m not obligated to leave anything if I take one – which is also how I got a copy of Balthazar Gracian’s Art of Worldly Wisdom (in it Gracian recommends allowing yourself one vice, and mine is stealing useful things like books).  The lyrics were inspired by the Viking series I’d recently watched on the History Channel -actually I watched a pirated copy (yet another vice) because we don’t get the History Channel out here.  I felt a sense of connection to the idea of the Northmen being away from family while going a-raiding, similar to being away from family while working on a record – you end up killing about the same amount of people as well.”
